A campaign to help Ukrainian organic farms finance their organic farming certificate this year was recently successfully completed.

The support was specifically aimed at small and medium-sized organic farms in Ukraine that only sell their products in Ukraine. More than 115 organic farms across Ukraine have received funding of up to 1,000 euros in recent weeks. The funding was provided by the “German-Ukrainian Cooperation in Organic Agriculture” project. The project is funded by the German Ministry of Food and Agriculture. The total amount of the funding was 83.000 Euro.

“We are very pleased that we were able to support so many companies in this difficult situation. The selected operators got the necessary resources to receive their certificate in accordance with the requirements of organic farming this year,” said Dr. Stefan Dreesmann, head of the German-Ukrainian project. “In this context, I would also like to thank the organization Organic Federation of Ukraine, which successfully supported us in transferring the money to the organic operators within Ukraine.”
